#4 of 24 Re: Buying a Toyota Warranty for the Avalon? [montanaprof] by bwia May 10, 2007 (9:35 am)
Replying to: montanaprof (May 08, 2007 6:27 am) Obvously, your mother-in-law is risk averse. That's why she bought the warranty in the first place. $1,800 would appear to be absorbitant in the first instance, but we do not know the details of this plan. If it is a 10-year warranty with a $100 or less deductible, that would appear to be a reasonable price.   By the way, this is not a warranty. Only the manufacturer offers one, which is included the price of the car. Your mother in law bought a service agreement which kicks in after the original manufacturer's warranty expire. I would not attempt to cancel the contract. Replies to this message: montanaprof (May 10, 2007 11:11 am)

Replying to: bwia (May 10, 2007 9:35 am) Some great feedback here.   I have more details.   The plan my mother-in-law purchased was an 8 year 120,000 mile $100 deductible plan from Zurich.   The dealer sold it for $1950.   Based on a message above (thank you!!), I contacted Troy at Toyota of Greenfield. He is AWESOME to work with (call (413) 772-0231 and ask for Troy). He walked through the entire Zurich warranty with my mother-in-law AND the Toyota one.   My mother-in-law now has a Toyota Warranty, 7 year, 100,000 mile with $0 deductible, Platinum plan for $990.   Now, we just have to see how much of the $1000 I can get from my mother-in-law!!   Cheers all!!   David

Replying to: montanaprof (May 08, 2007 6:27 am) Another recommendation - Midwest Toyota Superstore Hutchinson, Kansas I wanted the Platinum $0 deductible, and was getting quotes ranging from $1375 to over $2100 at local dealers. Quotes from Midwest: 7/75 - $561, 7/100 - $856.   This was for an '04 Avalon. As an aside to anyone else in the SE region, you can buy the Toyota warranty anywhere in the US, you're not limited to the SE region (as I was told by dealers several times). Anyway, just wanted to pass this on, hope it helps someone else!
#10 of 24 Extended Warranty for 07 Avalon by popsavalon Jan 04, 2008 (8:56 am)
I had declined the extended warranty on my 07 Avalon XL at time of purchase in MS. because of excessive cost (almost $1200-). After reading the above posts, I have just purchased a platinum, zero deduct., 7yr/75000mi, Toyota Extra Care Service Agreement, from Midwest Toyota Superstore for $619--. The number is 620-662-6631, and I did business with Jerry Johnson.   As mantaraygirl posts, you are not restricted to buying a warranty where you buy your vehicle. The posts on this subject were very informative, and saved me a lot of money!
#11 of 24 Zurich warranty -- are they trouble? by savvyuser Jan 24, 2008 (3:41 pm)
I have experienced significant difficulty with my Zurich auto warranty. Have found that they will not resolve the issues I have raised with them.   Anybody else have trouble with Zurich? Any suggestions for resolving issues with them?   Are extended service contracts regulated by anybody?
#12 of 24 Warranties by popsavalon Jan 25, 2008 (8:37 am)
Savvyuser, pardon my curiosity, but are dealerships selling other than Toyota extended warranties for new Toyota products. The Zurich warranty has come up in a couple of posts, with nothing good being said.   I would think that an extended warranty from Toyota would offer some leverage thru the Toyota organization. On the other hand, if Zurich is not managed by Toyota in some fashion, you are dealing with just another insurance company. Replies to this message: savvyuser (Jan 25, 2008 9:57 am)

Replying to: popsavalon (Jan 25, 2008 8:37 am) My Zurich warranty was sold by a Daimler/Chrysler dealership for the used Daimler/Chrysler vehicle I bought from them. It cost close to 2500.00 including tax. I know that Zurich is not a part of Daimler/Chrysler.   I also know about two Chevrolet dealerships that sell this warranty.   Does anyone know what state or federal regulatory organization oversees Zurich?
